Reed Jobs Scraper: UK Jobs, Salaries & Recruiters (Reed.co.uk)

Scrape UK jobs from Reed.co.uk by keyword and location: title, employer or agency, salary range and period, permanent/contract/temp, full-/part-time, remote/hybrid, posted and expiry dates, link, snippet, and optional full description, skills and sector. No browser. $0.50 per 1,000 jobs.

A Reed scraper for UK jobs, with clean salary data and no browser. Reed.co.uk is one of the UK's biggest job boards, with jobs from employers and recruitment agencies in every sector. Give it keywords (developer, nurse, accountant…) and UK locations with a radius, and get one clean row per job: title, employer or agency (and which of the two posted it), location and county, salary minimum and maximum with the period (per year, day or hour), permanent, contract or temporary, full-time or part-time, remote, hybrid or on-site, posted, updated and expiry dates, easy-apply and UK-eligibility flags, the Reed link and any external apply link, a description snippet, and optionally the full description, skills, sector and region from the job page. Filter by salary, contract type, hours, posting date, direct employers only and working option. Every keyword runs in every location, up to 100 pages each. Use it for UK job market and salary research, recruiting and candidate sourcing, recruitment agency and hiring-company lead lists, job alerts and job-board aggregation. $0.50 per 1,000 jobs, with no compute bill on top; problems return a free status row instead of failing.

What data does it return?

Every run outputs clean, schema-validated rows like these:

title	company	employerType	location	salaryMin	salaryPeriod
Senior Engineer (Agentic Developer)	Reed.co.uk	direct-employer	London	95000	year
Lead Developer	Circle Recruitment	recruitment-agency	London	600	day
.NET Developer	Noir	recruitment-agency	London	70000	year

How much does it cost?

Transparent pay-per-event pricing — you only pay for what you get, and the actor always respects your run budget: set a maximum total charge and it stops cleanly at the cap instead of overrunning.

Event	Price	Charged	Worked example
job-result	$0.0005	per job row	1,000 jobs = $0.50 (with or without full descriptions)
apify-actor-start	$0.00005	per run per GB of memory (platform start fee)	One run at 256 MB = $0.00005

Input options

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description

locations	array	no	—	UK towns, cities, counties or postcodes, e.g. London, Manchester, Leeds, Kent. Every keyword is searched in every location. Leave empty for the whole UK.
proximityMiles	integer	no	10	Search radius around each location (Reed's default is 10 miles).

contractTypes	array	no	[]	Only these contract types. Empty = all.

workingOptions	array	no	[]	Keep only jobs with these working options (filtered by the actor). Empty = all.
includeDescription	boolean	no	false	Open each job page for the full description, skills, sector, region and Reed's salary text (one extra page per job, so runs are slower). Phone numbers and e-mail addresses are removed.
maxPagesPerSearch	integer	no	10	Results pages per keyword × location (25 jobs each).
maxItems	integer	no	200	Stop after this many jobs in total. Each job is one charged row.

Limits & honest notes

• Responsible use: you are responsible for using the data in line with Reed's terms and with UK data-protection law (UK GDPR). This actor is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Reed.co.uk or Reed Specialist Recruitment.
• It reads only Reed's public search and job pages, which Reed's robots.txt allows for general crawlers, and checks robots.txt before every page (it never uses sort parameters, /api/ or tracking links, which are disallowed). There is no login, no cookies, no proxies and no CAPTCHA solving; it sends an honest user agent (ActorForge-Reed) and waits at least 1.5 s between pages.
• Recruiter contact details are never collected, and phone numbers and e-mail addresses are removed from descriptions. Employer and agency names are business data.
• Search pages give a description snippet; the full description, skills and sector need one extra page per job (turn on Include full description).
• If Reed answers with a block or a challenge, the run stops at once, keeps the jobs already delivered and adds a free status row. Respects your run budget: set a maximum total charge and the run stops cleanly at the cap. A run with no results returns one free status row.
